The Chosen
How long, would you hide
Aren't you tired of the roller coaster ride
Put aside your pride and return to ' YAH ' side
Don't be sadden, don't be afraid
Stop digging your brother's grave
Be strong, turn from wrong
Just listen, live and obey
Four hundred years of sin and backslide
Chained, caned, blamed and shamed
'YAH' knows we were frame
But we were told to love and refrain
'YAH', said in the end we will gain
Our existence was not in vain
So do not hide nor collide
Stand firm put up a fight
Learn to be brave and unite
Four hundred years of secret and lies
Buried and conceal to keep us in the dark
Open your eyes, be brave
Stop digging your own grave
Research, search and learn to go to church
Four hundred years of concealing the truth
And killing our youths will soon end
Lets not pretend
That you had nothing to do with planning our end
I don't mean to offend
But you know you were never our friend
After all you where the ones who staged our end.
